Are supertasks impossible?
...is the essay question I've stupidly decided on for my paradoxes class. I've got 3000 words and it's designed with a philosophical bent, but the philosophy encyclopedia I'm looking at goes into a fair amount of detail about the physics side and touches on the maths. I'm probably going to go into detail about the maths a bit more than the physics, but I know a lot of the .org are pretty damned good when it comes to knowledge about science and whatnot.
So what do you guys think? Supertasks- possible or impossible?
